Simin: "..."
What kind of good news is this?
It's just eating four more types of food than others, right?
If it tastes good, that's a different story, but if it doesn't taste good, it's pure torture!
Sisi's drawing skills worried him; it was another matter whether she could even draw food that looked decent.
"Don't the guests have any tasks?" a voice came from nearby, and the others, standing not far away, asked the director.
Perhaps because he was away from the shopping mall, Qi Yu's attire was much more casual. His clean white shirt made him look like a refined gentleman, and with his handsome and youthful face, he could probably be mistaken for a college student in his teens or early twenties if he walked on campus.
How can someone be so perfect?
She comes from a good family, is rich, beautiful, and has a great figure. This Goddess Nuwa is too biased!
snort!
While Lan Qingyue was indulging in her crush, she forced herself to turn her head away, refusing to look at Qi Yu's captivating face. She patted her pockets, which were flat and empty—not a single penny. How pathetic!
Director Cai jumped up, twirling a palm-leaf fan around his head. His chubby face was all bunched up, revealing a憨厚可掬 (honest and simple) smile. "Big boss, this morning the little guest completed the task, and this afternoon the big guest will complete the task. Isn't that great?"
Director Cai thought about the tasks for the past few days and suddenly realized that he had really put the guests through a lot, so he decided to give them a little treat this morning.
But what did the big boss mean by asking that? Did he think the guests were too idle? Director Cai's smooth mind raced, trying to come up with a temporary task, when he heard Qi Yu speak up:
"That's good. Last time everyone talked about donating money, so let's get it settled today and complete the allocation as soon as possible after we get back."
“Great, that’s good. The sooner we donate, the sooner we can feel at ease.” Simin stood up to express his agreement, and the other guests had no objections.
During the last home visit, we only visited a few households, and there were still a few we didn't have time to visit. Director Cai stayed behind to watch the young guests complete their tasks, while the village chief led the senior guests and Qi Yu to visit several impoverished households in the village.
The purpose of the home visits was not to verify the authenticity of the information, but to gain a more direct understanding of the villagers' impoverished lives.
During this period, everyone has almost finished harvesting rice, peanuts, and corn. New seedlings are still being cultivated and haven't been planted yet. Everyone is staying home, watching the weather, and cultivating seedlings. They don't have to work so hard from early morning to late at night anymore.
The village chief led Qi Yu and six guests around the fields and arrived at a tiled house.
The house is located in the middle of the fields, and looks like a temporary hut. The owner probably lives there to watch over the fields or the pond.
The village chief explained to everyone, "This old man, Mr. Lin, his wife passed away last year. They only have one son who works in another city. He's almost forty and still unmarried. He only comes back a few times a year, so Mr. Lin moved here. See that fishpond across the way? That pond is dozens of meters deep, and it's full of fish. The owners only hire people to catch fish during holidays. Mr. Lin has been coming here to watch over the pond and feed the fish since last year."
Qi Yu asked, "Where does Old Man Lin live?"
Village Chief: "It's that small house we just passed by at the bend. It was built last year with funds allocated to impoverished households. Don't be fooled by its small exterior; the kitchen inside is still a tiled roof."
